At least I wouldn't have to upgrade every few months or so :)

You say that now. Post again in August, and let us know how that's working for you. 

Wonderful description of Nikolai Tesla and the ********* Thomas Edison

Unfortunately my spending budget is not that big to allow me to upgrade all the time, speakers are on a different level compared to headphones, that's why I'm looking around for decent speakers and monoblock amp's to satisfy my needs for a long time to come, hopefully I can recoupe some fair amount of cash from selling my current gear.

I finally got my speaker rig up and running, The problem that's hit in the first week, is that with headphones, I can listen whenever I want. With Speakers I can't. I have to wait until the house is free from piano teaching and it's not too late at night, or early in the morning etc.

Lucky I don't have any of those restrictions from playing whenever I want (of cause through some common sense I won't play music at like 2am in the morning). For me most of the headphones I listen though are open, it's not so much different to the role of speakers.

Open headphones mean that someone in a quiet room with you might hear some leakage..
Speakers mean the rest of the house, or at least the adjacent rooms will hear it, that's a big difference :/
That's why I have to have both :]

Ditto. The toddler goes to bed by 8pm - no speakers after that point for me. Headphones only (he has never been woken by my open headphones yet).

Good thing I moved out recently :)

I am quite sure my neighbours can hear my LCD-2 Orthos is as effective in each direction it appears lol. Can just hang them up and use them as mini speakers if I want to listen to radio or something with better SQ.

haha that is so true, what's even worse then the LCD2 is the HD800, I literally use them sometimes as speakers when I game online, they are effective as well.
